Mindy was only 24 when she became the first and only female writer (of a team of eight writers) for The Office. She eventually evolved from writer status to actor status with her portrayal of the character Kelly Kapoor.

She continues to write, and has even produced and directed some episodes, too.

The 70's/80's sitcom, Mork & Mindy inspired her middle name

Mindy's mom was living in Nigeria when she was preggers with her, and American TV was limited. The only show that her parents could get was Mork & Mindy, and because of this, her middle name was taken from the quirky series about an alien who comes down to earth and woos a human.

Although she has only written for one SNL episode, it's still pretty impressive because for the longest time SNL was known as an all boys club when it came to writers.

She put her funniness in a book form, too

Along with her acting and writing for television, Mindy also released a series of essays last year called Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns). Just like Mindy, it's funny and witty, and will make you cry from laughing so hard.
